*********************************************************************

The origin and initial history of Kitty Pryde are pretty easily digested. Kitty Pryde first appeared alongside a few other notable characters (Emma Frost, Sabastian Shaw, and the Hellfire Club) in Uncanny X-Men #129 back in 1980. Almost immediately she became a fan-favorite character. Issue 129 sees the attempted recruit of Kitty Pryde by both the Hellfire Club and the X-Men. By stories end, the White Queen had captured the X-Men and Kitty Pryde had snuck aboard the ship carrying them away. As far as groundbreaking stories go, 129 was only ok.

But let’s talk a little more about the history of Kitty Pryde.

When 129 was released, Kitty Pryde was only thirteen and a half years old. Moving forward this was an interesting choice of age.

And why?

Kitty was young…very young. In fact, she was years younger than most of the other X-Men. They were battle-tested adults capable of standing up for themselves. Kitty wasn’t. She was, for all intents and purposes, a child and children weren’t supposed to be caught up in war.

For most of her existence, the history of Kitty Pryde saw her as an important yet bit player in the X-Men Universe. Her early years painted her as an immature teenager capable of making immature teenage mistakes.
